On Monday, Rashard Lewis told Percy Allen that he wants to sign a two-year extension with Seattle this summer and hopes to "put an end to my name always coming up in stuff like this at this time of the year."

He has been mentioned in multiple trade rumors, including one where he would be sent to Phoenix, a trade that has been adamantly denied.

"I've put a lot of thought into it [signing an extension] during the season and now, and I would love to finish my career in Seattle and be on one team my entire career," he said in a phone interview. "I don't know if that will happen. I don't know if I can do that because that rarely happens in the NBA today."
